NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 30 – Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and the Kenya Alliance of Residents Associations (KARA) have agreed to strengthen community participation in preparations for the expected El Niño rains and efforts to mitigate flooding across the city.
The partnership will see residents’ associations play a greater role in disseminating early warning messages, identifying emerging risks and encouraging residents living in flood-prone areas to move to safer locations when necessary.
